All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.

This record is in good+ condition. The labels do have a few light spindle marks visible but there are not loads and  no pen marks or scuffs anywhere. There is little wear to the centre holes and overall the labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really sinister but do have lots of light scratches and marks visible in normal light with also a few small marks/lines that can be felt with your finger. There are more extremely light wispy hairlines and signs of use under very bright light and overall the vinyl isnt the prettiest visually. Despite these lines and clear signs of use the record has no really nasty issues and still has a nice shine.

I play tested the record and it plays well. It lays flat with next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is overall very enjoyable but with some occasional mild interference. There are no major issues such as skips, sticks or majorly disruptive clicks but I did not the following.  On side 1 I noticed a minor crackle in the run in, intro and quieter parts of track 1 and 2 random, separate clicks in track 5, 'Kooks'. Other than this the whole side played well with no standout issues but some minor surface noise in between tracks and occasionally in softer parts. Side 2 played the same as the vast majority of side 1 but this time with a light crackle and a few pops in track 5. Again both sides have some minor surface noise and are not pristine but overall the audio is much better than G+ and I enjoyed the whole play test. My system which is pretty revealing picked up on no major issues as I say and overall the audio is, although not perfect, of decent quality.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners and the writing along the spine is now only just legible. Despite this they are all strong with no splits or weak areas anywhere. Other than the edge wear there are no major problems to report such as pen marks, tears or scuffs. There is some minor creases emanating from the edges and some slight age related wear but no major issues as I say. There is also a very faint sticker mark on the rear over the cat. no area to the right top side. Overall the sleeve is in pretty good shape with no serious defects but some wear as mentioned.  Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains a brand new plain white inner as the original was missing.

The record will be packaged in between cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, within 24hrs of payment to ensure swift delivery.
